Billy Cooper – Local Park Mix
Macneil‘s Billy Cooper coming through with a bunch of real good clips of him getting down at some of his local parks. Definitely worth taking a peek at this one.
“Billy hit me up a little while back about possibly making a little chilled skatepark nuggs video in and around his local area, so we spent a few afternoons gathering clips through scooter filled sessions and this is the result.
Bill is one dialled rider and a sound guy, hopefully you’ll enjoy this half as much as I did filming it!” – Luke Duffy
Happy Birthday, Billy Cooper

Running immediately into the SXSW music festival, skateboarding tours, broken iPhones, thunderstorms and a bewilderingly busy city overpopulated by an extra 250,000 people, the team searched to find what they could that hadn’t already been done in one of the most exposed cities in the world, all whilst enjoying one of the best places on earth.
